NOTES: This was just a quick little gripper workout. I've been trying to switch it up nearly every workout to get maximum gains with the grippers. This time I tried another Brookfield gem, "explosive crushes". He says to hang the gripper from a string, but I didn't have time to mock anything up, so I just held the gripper loosely in my hand like a TNS, and exploded on it. I'll tell you this...they hit the hand hard. I squeezed those reps like I was trying to break the handles off the gripper. It was a great pump, and the movement fatigued me really quickly. The rest is pretty standard stuff...the phone books are fun, and I think they're a good way to end a workout - it's amazing how hard an average sized phone book can be when you're already smoked from the grippers.
